Hello people, here'd be my #introduction

The name's Ari, 45yrs, located in #kouvola, #finland

I'm a long career #IT guy, nowdays self-employed but I've worn many hats from a van driver to an IT manager and everything in between.

I mostly work in the #opensource world. I'm not a coder, but I do stuff for my own entertainment with good old languages.

I wish to spend my free time on the road exploring the world and restoring old arcade games.

Here's Hopeakuula Arcade's main room. Located in Kouvola, Finland, this hobbyist run, not for profit arcade has been welcoming the pinball-curious folks since 2011.

Mostly run by yours truly and my partner in life and crime, @quester, we aim to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. The collection has over 35 games, ranging from 70s electromechanicals to the latest 2020 ones.
